Bird poo :(
« on: 16 July 2011, 11:19 »
I leave a few miles from the sea and my car seems to be a favourite among the seagulls for crapping on.

Sometimes the droppings can be rather stubborn....is there a particular product that really helps with bird poo?

Thanks  :laugh:

Keep a layer of wax on the car and I find the poo comes off easily and doesn't leave marks. :smug:
 
This is a better bet than products to clean it afterwards.

pre spray bird poo with apc allow to dwell for a few minutes and rinse off with warm water or pressure washer, repeat process if needed then as said above get some protection down in the form of a sealant or wax or both.
